Religion and morality: An anthropological comment
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 29 (5):465-466 (2006)
Abstract
This commentary criticises Bering on two counts. First, because we do not know what he attributes to natural selection and what he sees as derived representations. Second, Bering's ethnography of religion is inadequate. People who practise ancestor worship are not concerned with their own survival but with that of others. Many supernatural beings are not thought of as morally motivated.Links
